Congratulations to the Gov & the NYS Legislature this year. Yes, it should be a given that a budget is passed on time, that is what made the failure to do so such a symbol of dysfunction. I hope the momentum continues and that the budget passed, if not a perfect fix, is a step in the right direction.

Stop getting excited over following the law and passing the budget on time. It’s childish!. The taxpayers are so sick of man-child legislators with special interests dictating our lives and robbing us blind.
Now, let’s see how the next 3 months goes:
we need a 2% tax cap on property taxes;
we need repeal of the MTA tax that kills taxpayers & businesses;
we need mandated tax relief, too.
Long Island is going down the toilet. The TOILET-get it!
Look at NYSTaxReliefNow.org for info on the MTA tax bust.
It’s a must see. Get involved. Do it Now!
